It’s been called Tuscany’s greatest value by multiple wine critics and writers. It may be the wine that above all others helped put Marco Bacci in the elite category. It’s Castello di Bossi’s ‘Corbaia’. Since the late 1990’s, it’s inexplicably been right up there every vintage in quality and in expert recognition and big scores with the very best in Chianti, Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello, you name it.
Perhaps no wine in the duo’s repertoire has helped put them on the map like their Super Tuscan bargain Corbaia. It was tasting the Corbaia that Parker once labeled these wines as “easily some of the most exciting reds made in Tuscany.” They unquestionably often the biggest bargain.
When the Corbaia first came onto the scene, it was a supernova Super Tuscan that garnered just $30/bottle with scores as high as 95s and 96s. Even as it’s popularity skyrocketed and the price tag has driven it all the way up to $70 bottle, it’s still a synergetic, perfectly orchestrated masterpiece each vintage which challenges peers who charge four and five times the price.
But in a chance deal when I struck up the Gran Selezione offer, I was granted access to this Library, 93-Pointer than Galloni gushed over, and which I had with some of our pizzas last week. The wine is drinking fantastically. This is a home-run.

93 Points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2013 Corbaia, Castello di Bossi’s Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, is terrific. Dark cherry, kirsch, leather, smoke and tobacco flesh out in this pliant, beautifully textured wine. A host of Cabernet-infused savory top notes continue to develop in the glass. The Corbaia is relatively open for the vintage.
93 Points, James Suckling
Elegant and silky for the vintage with blueberry and black pepper aromas and flavors. Medium body, firm tannins and a pretty finish. Delicious blend of sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
91 Points, The Wine Advocate
A blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Corbaia offers good balance and overall intensity. The bouquet shows dark notes of black fruit, cured leather and spice. The effect is more robust and brooding overall, thanks to the dense and sophisticated personality put forward by this Tuscan blend

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
